Upright type in novel (5)
I believe the answer is:
roman
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'upright type' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'novel' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for roman that I've seen before include "Locking device" , "From Italy's capital" , "Typeface" , "- Empire; - nose" , "Sort of face" .)
